  • Snow

    From Greg Meckel@1:153/143 to All on Sat Dec 10 17:50:29 2022
    Well, it finally happened. We got about 14" of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday and they closed schools for 3 days because the city didn't send out plows until after the snow stopped.

    they closed schools for 3 days because the city didn't send out plows until

    er the snow stopped.

    I live on the northern edge of "the South." They often send the salt
    trucks out too early, to salt before the snow is even falling (which does
    not work) then later complain that they need more money to buy salt.

    They do usually get the plows out while it is snowing, though, but there
    has been a time or two where it was snowing so hard that I think they give
    up and wait until it is over.

    Glad you finally got some snow.

    That's quite alright. You can keep your heat right where it is, but thanks anyway.

    I grew up in central Florida. One day there was "snow" consisting of
    big flakes that did not even touch the ground. School let out to
    observe this historic event:-}}
